  Thinking photos in my posts were static, I deleted photos from my gallery. No, I did not realize the photos in the published posts were still linked to the gallery. Is there a way to recover the deleted photos? I really don’t want to re-upload and associate them to the previously published posts as it will be a lengthy effort.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Images and media you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Deleting them from your media library also removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.

  Staff cannot restore images you delete from your Media Library. You have to upload them all again, and then fix every broken image link in every post/page it was embedded into previously.
